Hats off to you for saving the car. I bought mine in the early 90's when it was 24 years old. I found it in a field like most of us do, but it didnt have a long time to sit and rot. Its been in a garage ever since. The cars that you will find in a field now will have rot as they are 50 years old. If someone who can do the welding work picks them up, they can be saved. The good thing is parts are available for these cars now that werent 25 years ago, I think all the body sheet metal can be had. There is even a company repopping the bodies I think. The bodywork side of these cars has come a long way as far as parts.
